  Atmospheric pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Standard atmospheric pressure or "the standard atmosphere" (1 atm) is defined as 101.325 kilopascals (kPa).
This "standard pressure" is a purely arbitrary representative value for pressure at sea level, and real atmospheric pressures vary from place to place and moment to moment everywhere in the world.
Atmospheric pressure is often measured with a mercury barometer, and a height of approximately 30 inches of mercury is often used to teach, make visible, and illustrate (and measure) atmospheric pressure.

 Atmospheric pressure
Standard atmospheric pressure or "the standard atmosphere" (1 atm) is defined as 101,325 pascals = 101.325 kPa.
Low atmospheric pressure systems are symbolized by an L on a weather map and are associated with areas of storminess and precipitation.
High atmospheric pressure systems are symbolized by an H on a weather map and are associated with areas of clear weather.

 Pressure
Since static fluid pressure is determined by the fluid density and depth, the depth or height difference of a given liquid is commonly used for pressure measurement:
This is indicative of the normal pressure drop in a flowing fluid from Poiseuille's law since the diameters of the top tube are the same at the left and right tubes.
Since the static fluid pressure is dependent only upon density and depth, choosing a liquid of standard density like mercury or water allows you to express the pressure in units of height or depth, e.g., mmHg or inches of water.

 Pressure Settings
Most pressure cooker recipes are made to cook at the standard of 15psi, in fact this setting is so common that most recipes don't even need to mention it.
Pressure cookers that use less than 15 psi defeat the speed of cooking, cost more money in cooking fuel, and lessen the nutritional value of moods, not to mention wasting your valuable time.
The most obvious differences between a standard, and nonstandard pressure cooker can be seen in longer cooking times, increased fuel bills, and a loss of important vitamins and nutrients in the food you cook and serve to your family.

 Pressure on Earth, Highest
Pressure is not a fixed value; rather, it varies with environmental factors, such as altitude and temperature.
The pressure of the atmosphere there is known to be extremely high, enough to filter the sun's UV rays.
Pressure plays a big role in our everyday lives as it helps us determine weather patterns, which may be especially useful for aircraft workers and people with weather dependent professions.

 Pressure on Tides   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A rough guide is that a change in pressure of one millibar (one hectopascal in modern units) will change the sea level by one centimetre.
This means that a pressure of 1040 mb, pretty high but not abnormally so, could give a sea level lower by nearly 30 cms than expected.
The highest pressure around the UK is about 1050 mb which would give sea levels about 40 cm lower.

This model is a traditional type with stethoscope, pressure gauge, squeezebulb and standard-sized cuff for upper arms measuring from 10" to 14" in circumference, with vinyl carrying case.
However, for most people, a standard cuff works well, and they do not experience any discomfort, or their discomfort is not enough to justify the much higher price of the deluxe cuffs.
Without this cuff, blood pressure measurements can only be taken on the forearm--a valid method if done properly, but one that some healthcare professionals prefer not to use because they are not very familiar with it.

 [No title]
Increasing the pressure on a gas forces the molecules closer together, causing the volume to decrease in proportion to the increase in pressure (Boyle’s Law).
These three factors — temperature, pressure, and the relative degree of saturation of the gas with water vapor — must be considered when gas volumes are compared under different environmental conditions and used subsequently in metabolic and physiologic calculations.
To reduce a gas to standard dry (SD) conditions, the effects of water vapor pressure at the particular environmental temperature must be subtracted from the volume of gas.

 Sound Intensity
Since audible sound consists of pressure waves, one of the ways to quantify the sound is to state the amount of pressure variation relative to atmospheric pressure caused by the sound.
The standard threshold of hearing can be stated in terms of pressure and the sound intensity in decibels can be expressed in terms of the sound pressure:
The nominal dynamic range of human hearing is from the standard threshold of hearing to the threshold of pain.

 Pressure and Vacuum Standards
The measurement uncertainty associated with the National Standard Barometer is approximately ±0.004 hPa but the uncertainty in the measurement of atmospheric pressure, by the on-line transducer, is considerably higher at approximately ±0.3 hPa.
Note that, when estimating a pressure value from the graphs, the uncertainty will be considerably higher than that of the measuring transducer because of limitations in screen resolution.
When using the pressure values, particularly for checking another barometer, it is important to appreciate that the differences in altitude, distance from Teddington and weather conditions may seriously limit the validity of the comparison.
